Committee on Drugs Use

A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Nina Brennan:

It is all very complex and challenging. When we decriminalise possession, using drugs or whatever the words are, people are still committing other offences. The Deputy spoke about the push factor. I can see that there will always be a place for our piece. Mr. Duffin used the word "co-ordination". It is important to have that co-ordination with all those State services in one place for the individual. I am probably not answering the question.
